Dr. Yung is amazing! He put me at ease as soon as he walked in my exam room. He talked through what to expect from the visit, so that there were no surprises. I'm coming back for some more intensive worknext month, and will surely leave an honest review after that, too.

At first I was pretty frustrated because I was waiting long periods of time for both my visits. But the minute dr yung walks in, everything feels a whole lot better. he’s professional but super friendly. Honestly probably the best dentistI’ve ever met. Super likable guy and makes sure he does his job right. Wait times were a little on the long side but he is good at what he does.

Dr. Young is great - but the wait time is terrible. I often end up waiting for 30-45 minutes every time I go there. I find it quite disrespectful of a patient's time.

Dr. Yung is very personable and capable, but the demeanor of the guy that staffs the front desk not so much. And it helps if the front desk researched insurance before someone gets there so we know what we are supposed to pay

It was an emergency call on Sunday 4/18 because of a painful toothache. Dr. Yung scheduled to see me right away the next morning. After the x-ray, I was told that I need a root canal and he referred me tothe specialist and gave me an appointment within 2 days because I will be out of the country for a vacation from April 2-25. Dr.Yung is very professional and helpful. Thank you Dr. Norman Yung!

Dr. Yung explained everything and saw me over three visits my first time in. It had been a while since my last cleaning and check-up and I was a little nervous but he explained the process in language that made senseand really made a connection with me. So thankful to have found him!

I was very impressed with the staff, whom were all very polite, attentive and genuine. Dr. Yung was very congenial and inquisitive, and made me feel quite comfortable. Kudos to this practice! I am happy that I have found a new dental home!

I have made multiple visits (between 6 and 10, at a guess) to Dr Yung's office over the last 8 months, and have never been anything less than happy and impressed. He is communicative and engaging, and very concerned with doingthe best job possible. I have already recommended a friend to him, and she is very happy as well. The office staff are all knowledgeable and professional too. Top marks all round. Thank you!

It was overall an okay experience. I am disappointed in the multiple visits required to receive treatment. I wish they were more efficient and considerate of patient's times. In my case, the last trip to the dentist could have been avoided,but instead I wasted my time and have not completed treatment. I am now being referred to a specialist and will have to return for multiple visits. This type of care feels inadequate. Excellent dental care takes into consideration the patient's time, needs, and concerns. It makes you lose trust in your provider. In the future I would recommend this provider provides more realistic timelines for care, so you can make prior arrangements and feel you are being given all options. I will say this provider was thorough in his explanations of why I should go with the recommended treatment, but he never gave me the option to make that decision for myself. It almost felt like I had no other choice and the decision was made for me since I was already sitting in the dental chair. Unfortunately, at this point the lack of setting expectations have made me less confident in the care I am receiving. I would not recommend this office to a family member for anything other than the basic cleaning and cavity treatment.

Dr. Yung is the real deal. I consider him a friend. He's smart, articulate, funny, and his dental skills are well developed. I trust him to do the right thing.

Excellent service all-around. When I had to return to the dentist because the lab didn't correctly form a crown, I was reimbursed a significant portion of my copay and the dentist fixed a small chip in another tooth for no charge.Excellent customer service. And, while, going to the dentist is never pleasant, this was one of the least painful dentist experiences I have ever had. Highly recommend.

I have now seen Dr Yung a number of times and had 3 procedures and I'm pleased to say that he's a GREAT dentist! He's kind and patient, explains his reasoning for recommendations, doesn't patronize and displays in interest in thepatient's well being and comfort. I've had very negative experiences with dentists in the past. Dr Yung calmed my fears and I feel that he will help me restore my teeth to good health. I recommend him with no reservations!

This is the best dentist and dental practice I have ever known. And, I HATE going to the dentist. This office never made me feel shamed for my sub-par hygenine practices and just got the work done. I felt very caredfor, and surprisingly, was not anywhere near as anxious as I've been in the past. Thank you!
